I would imagine it is also part of a stewardess' - that's fkn right I said stewardess' - job to ensure people are not overly intoxicated. This would be pretty much more difficult with a bunch of bogans trying to take advantage of free piss and out drink each other.

How an individual copes with alcohol comes down to the individual themselves, not by the generalisation of a group of people be it by race, gender or employment situation.

I'm sure there are plenty of sleezy salespeople who take advantage of the system just as much as your fifo tradie.

Im fighting a lost cause anyways, thanks to the previous governments effective campaign on turning Australia against the mining/fifo industry.

Perhaps the below could be an interesting discussion next time you bump across your Flight attendent friend?

Published by the Tourism Research Australia

4.4 Mining boom benefits for air services

Between 2004–05 and 2011–12, domestic aviation capacity grew robustly both between the capital cities and to regional Australia.

In Australia, aviation seats (as measured by revenue seats available and passenger movements)

have increased at over 4 per cent per year over the seven-year period to 2011–12.

From 40,429,000 passenger movements to 54,985,000 = 36% increase

I wonder how many extra staff were hired to cope with that increase?

Edit: and just to make it clear; not justifying rude behaviour but the overall stereotype/resentment towards "FIFO" tradies

  • Like 1

Lol don't try to blame the government .

What a ridiculous retort.

Stereotypes exist for a reason

lol and how many fifo people have you encountered to prove your stereotype is valid?

Somehow the whole east coast has a negative view on fifo yet have barely met one...

Sterotypes exist because media & stories have been twisted to convey whatever (political) purpose it may hide. Be it hoon laws, immigration or our own indigineous people.

I may as well jump on the bandwagon & say all bankers are evil/greedy but im sure this doesnt apply to you.

Narh mate I've met plenty of tradies, I'm comfortable with the stereo type being 80% accurate

I have some questions, discuss amongst yourselves.

Why are we spending so much money on the MH370 search? (A$90m dollars currently budgeted towards it, not to mention the input from other countries who are much more involved with the situation than we are)

What happens when we find it?
What will change in the airline industry to stop this happening again?

Does anyone actually care that much anymore? It happened months ago, yet any update is still breaking news.

Stop telling the government how to spend other people's money

I actually have met plenty of tradies in my time (as have most people) and as al said, this would be 80% of them.

I also have a couple of mates that work FIFO in the W.A. mines and guess what...

They are both 101% Strayan

They both drive heavily modified V8 utes

They only holiday in Thailand/Bali where they only eat white people food, get full sleeve tatts and absorb 0% culture.

They rock cheap shit +11ty offset rims

They only drink Australian beer.

They listen to nothing but JJJ all day every day

They watch every sporting event known to man

AND

They get wasted on EVERY... SINGLE... FLIGHT...

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
